A North London community brass band is looking for new members - both experienced musicians for their public performances and non-players who would like to learn a brass instrument.
Fortismere Community Brass was set up in March 2013 in association with Fortismere Music Centre to provide a quality community-focused, not-for-profit brass band in the local community in Muswell Hill, Fortis Green and the surrounding area.
The band rehearses on Friday evenings at Muswell Hill Methodist Church. Its first public performance was at a street party in South Tottenham and its most recent appearance was at the Alexandra Palace 150th Anniversary celebrations on 21 July.
Enthusiastic learners (instruments can be provided), lapsed players and more experienced players are welcome. Band membership is free-of-charge to all school-aged children and concessionary rates are available for full-time students.
Musical styles range from classical music to pop and film music - plus, of course, traditional brass band favourites.
For details of how to join and forthcoming events, visit the Fortismere Community Brass website.
